About Us
MUFG Innovation Partners (MUIP) was established in 2019 as the Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) arm of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG). Aligning with MUFG’s purpose of ‟Committed to empowering a brighter future” for society by providing easily accessible financial products and services to consumers, MUIP’s mission is to transform finance with innovative startups.
In addition to strategic investments, we serve as the gateway for startups to synergistic collaborations with various departments of MUFG. Beyond that, we also drive new open innovation activities - involving MUFG, MUFG’s corporate clients and startups in our network - to solve business challenges, resulting in a trilaterally beneficial relationship that we call ‟3Wins (Triple Wins)”.
As the CVC arm and a member of MUFG, we envision a world where everyone has easy access to financial services most suited to their needs. We look forward to achieving that together with innovative startups.
